The book
will be released on October 2012 and is being published by Rizzoli.

“This is a coffee table style book which will feature
conversations between Pharrell and some friends who have inspired him
such as Anna Wintour, Nigo, Buzz Aldrin, Takashi Murakami, Jay-Z, Kanye
West, Hans Zimmer, Ambra Medda, Chad & Shae. The rest of the book
will contain photos which cover most of Pharrell’s career. The book
will be released October 16th and will retail for $55. Multiple colored
cover options will be available as well as a limited edition version
($250) which will include something special which we won’t unveil until
closer to the release date.”

IKEA combines furniture and electronics to get rid of messy wires, cables and eyesores.

As reported by The Verge IKEA will be introducing their first home entertainment system products called UPPLEVA soon.

“The range includes three designs, all of which
incorporate an LED TV, 2.1 sound system with wireless subwoofers, Wi-Fi
for smart TV features, and DVD / Blu-Ray players. The company is
planning to launch in Sweden, France, Italy, Poland, Spain, Denmark,
Norway, and Portugal in the fall, with a worldwide rollout in spring
2013. The furniture is intended to hide away cables, and will come in a
number of different color options.

A few specs on the system have been announced — the LED panels are
full HD (suggesting 1080p) which Ikea says have a 400Hz refresh rate and
come in four sizes, with four HDMI inputs, two USB ports, and support
for DivX HD files. There’s also extra storage, which means that your
Xbox 360 and PS3 won’t need to be left out.

The range, dubbed “Uppleva” (meaning experience) is designed to make
your home entertainment simpler to use, with one remote to command the
whole system. It’s built by Chinese manufacturer TCL, a company better
known in the US under the RCA brand, or as Alcatel in Europe. The base
model is set to cost SEK 6,500 (about $995) with a 5-year guarantee,
though it’s not clear what’s included at this price point, or how much
the full version will cost.”
